I have a client that wants to host their site with a "green" hosting service. I am building the site with ASP.NET MVC and SqlExpress. I've looked around and found a few wind-power solutions, etc, but they all support PHP/MySql or other non-M$ frameworks.

Has anyone found a green host that they like working with? Thanks for any help.

Are we allowed to promote our own companies? My company uses solar power. But our data centers don't run 100% off of them. Does that count?

Any new ideas on this, looking for a "GREEN" host. I see a lot of 100% wind powered or some other alternative energy hosts, but nothing that supports .NET and SQL Server 2005/2008.

Anyone have any fresh input on this?

In general RackForce (http://www.rackforce.com) has up to 1/50th the CO2 footprint of other data centers. Hydro powered and their GigaCenter (colo and cloud) was designed by IBM's Big Green team to have a PUE of 1.2 (extremely green 1.2watts incoming power to 1 watt IT load)
